In the Reboot Kitchen: Strawberry Coconut Shake
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
When I was young I used to love flavoured milk, particularly strawberry and chocolate! This is a super healthy take on this old classic. Fresh coconut water is excellent for your health and high in electrolytes. Here is more on the benefits of coconut water. Fresh coconut meat provides healthy fat and a thicker creamier consistency. ENJOY!
Ingredients
- 1 fresh coconut (can be found in the fresh produce section)
- 1 cup (140 g) fresh or frozen strawberries and raspberries
- ½ cup ice (if you prefer it ice cold)
- 2 tsp of pure honey (or 2 drops of stevia or 1 teaspoon of pure maple syrup)
- 2 tbsp coconut yogurt (optional)
Directions
- Crack the fresh coconut open (I used a big knife and hammer) and pour juice out.
- Scrape the young coconut meat out of the coconut.
- Add coconut water, coconut meat, strawberries, raspberries, ice, your sweetener of choice, and coconut yogurt if you are using it into a blender.
- Blend for 45 – 60 seconds until smooth.
- Serve and enjoy!
